You may have hit on the problem.  I have no previous public archives.  The
apache error logs show:

[Thu Apr 17 19:00:46 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.10] script not found
or unable to stat: /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/archives

When I look in the domain, I see no reference to FollowSymlinks.  so I've
added    "Options FollowSymLinks" to the virtual domain directory
information for domains that have mail lists  as referenced in the FAQ at:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1998-November/000150.html

But I still have an unresolved URL error message.  Do I have to manually
create a pointer to the area where the archives are?  It worked for
private.  The Public is a directory parallel to the private.  There must
be something more required in the Apache configuration?
